Ruled out against Levante Stassin (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's La Liga clash against Levante despite recently resuming training on grass, according to coach Luis Garcia.

Impact Stassin will miss his second consecutive La Liga match after failing to recover sufficiently from the groin injury that kept him out against Barcelona before the international break. The forward had recently resumed individual work on the pitch but has yet to return to full team training, leaving him unavailable for Monday's encounter. Stassin had started two consecutive league matches before his injury and has scored once this season. Robbie Ure and Isaac Romero remain the leading candidates to lead Sevilla's attack in his absence, while his availability for the following fixture will depend on further progress in his recovery.

Suffers adductor injury Stassin suffered a right adductor injury in the 1-0 win over Deportivo on Wednesday and won't play against Barcelona on Saturday.

Impact Stassin started and played 76 minutes in the win, taking four shots (two on target) and creating one chance.

His recovery during the international break will determine whether Stassin will be an option to face Levante on Oct. 12 once the league resumes. Isaac Romero should be his replacement to face Barcelona this weekend.

Loaned to Sevilla Stassin joined Sevilla on a season-long loan deal from AS Saint-Etienne on Tuesday. The deal also includes an option for a permanent transfer.

Impact Stassin is the latest addition to bolster Sevilla's attack, which also added Robbie Ure and Felix Correia this summer. Stassin has proven prolific in France, but it remains to be seen whether he'll adjust to Spain. He should be a depth piece in the early stages of his Sevilla tenure, but he should get enough opportunities to prove his worth.
